You guys have got to see this! Tony Podsada discussing Mickey Mantle. FUNNY

[Duluth Eskimo]

I get that all these are obvious forgeries and that they are coming from this same source, but it appears unclear what role Podsada plays in both stories. Is he the forger, the fence, or both? I do not really know these guys like some of you do so maybe it is painfully obvious, but can you give a little more back story? Thanks, Jason

I wish I knew Jason. Considering he said he had 30,000 on his kitchen table at one time, I say that's a pretty strong suspicion.

you'll have to judge for yourself looking at all the minutia out there, including the autographs themselves (which are Putrid IMHO), people involved with-in the industry, their knowledge of Mickey Mantle's autograph and their dealings with the gentleman, his Tax evasion arrest and subsequent jail time regarding the inventory, his case with scoreboard which graciously was made public by Ken Goldin, and most importantly his story that what he has are "real" Mickey Mantle's but a "variation of styles" or that what we know to be real is fake (The George Costanza OPPOSITE defense which is ludicrous on every level).

According to him, he's sold this story to 7 different FDE's including JSA & PSA including the assertion that "Mickey Mantle said they were real in court documents and that a Family Member signed a bunch for him that we deem as authentic.....ala Ted Williams & his son John Henry.

even so, all you have to do is a little bit of work studying his autograph and this dreck he has been selling is on cheap ass Media compared to what we know as signed in person photos. We haven't even scratched the surface on signed baseballs yet. I think they will be more regarding the quality of the photos to come. They SUCK compared to most all authentic signed photos. Not to mention the 4x 6's & 5x7's that are out there. Those a a complete joke in their own right

You'll have to connect the dots for yourself. I think I summed it up fairly well in my re-cap with the information that is out there that we gathered. All the best, Chuck

I get what you're saying and they are terrible autographs I agree. I just don't know where you come up with the Podsada name? Is he referenced in the FBI arrests? It doesn't reference that in the articles unless I am missing something. Just trying to figure it out.

[shelly]

He was always thought to be a forger from my dealings with B&J but that was never found to be true or false. He is the supplier of all this garbage and trust me it is more than 30,000 items.
He was not arrested by the FBI. He was arrested by the IRS. He now claims he was proven innocent later but I would like to see where the gov cleared him of all wrong doing. (Just another fairy tail from tp)

I just noticed some of the additional comments that were not loading for me in the artclicle.

Fudd - PSA & JSA are NOT FDE's, though it seems at one point in time that JSA hinted that he was.

Thanks Richard...I was just repeating what I believe Tony stated in the original thread.

"James Spence once visited my home and authenticated well over 200 pcs., including Mantle.

He only got nervous when I asked him if he wanted to do more and he said yes. When I escorted him into my dining room and had over 30,000 pcs. did he get nervous and declined. I was not there alone there was another person with me, who by the way also uses JSA on occasion. Bottom line is that 7 different Board Certified, Court Qualified Examiners, James Spence, Richard Simon, Mike Gutierez and many others have authenticated these same autographs. Why in Gods name are they wrong and you right."

Once again my only explanation is that I have eyes.

They were mass-authenticated by Ted Taylor, Chris Morales, Drew Max and Steve Rocchi.

Like I said it is another fairy tale told by tp. He is a piece of garbage that is out to protect his authenticators at all cost. They are as bad as he is.
I once asked Morales to come on this site and defend himself. I will ask Steve Rocchi. Come on down and tell us why your not a piece of crap just like the Donald and Morales and the rest of tp crew of experts.
